2008's Best Travel Blog: There's Something About Kugels

The results of the 2008 Weblog Awards are in, and the winner for Best Travel Blog is ... MyKugelhopf. To be honest, I had never heard of MyKugelhopf before the poll came around, but I had a look at it and have to hand it to creator Kerrin Rousset. The Zurich-based New Yorker has a nice-looking and frequently-updated website about food and travel, with tight writing, quality photography, and wide range of destinations and yummy-looking foods. In fact, she travels so much, to so many exotic locations, that I wonder if she has a regular job outside of this blog thing. Could this be her main job? It doesn't even carry any advertising! However she does it, it's a winner, so congratulations to Ms. Rousset. Incidentally, MyKugelhopf is named after a sweetened bread, similar to brioche, that is enjoyed in France, Germany, Austria, and Switzerland. It's probably quite good with coffee.

Jaunted Is An "Ace Travel Blog"

Youngin Europe handed out their own travel blog awards today:

We at Youngin Towers have decided to start our own travel blog awards.

So the winners of Youngin Europe's `We Reckon This Blog Is Ace Awards' (WRTBIAA), in no particular order, in no particular categories, having been adjudicated by no judges, this morning.

Congratulations to all. Afterparty will be at our local boozer, the Faltering Fullback, in 10 minutes, hope to see you there.

Needless to say, we are instant fans of the worldwide Ace Travel Bloggies, too bad we couldn't make it to the afterparty--next year.
